seech Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Ok, so after my little sagas I have finally ended up with my 2007 313 GT in black. It's absolutely fantastic. It's much quicker than I remember, with some seriously addictive engine tones. Anyway. I was considering doing the iPod mod to the Bose system, but my wife discovered a jack in the covered centre console by the handbrake. There is also a simple on off switch by the driver's left knee. She plugged her iPod in, flicked the switch to on and hey presto, iPod was on. I can't seem to get it working though. Tried everything bar opening it up. Has anyone got a mod like this? Any ideas on how to get it working? Apart from a cigarette burn in the headlining, there is only one other issue. Doing 80-90 on the motorway yesterday, the transmission felt like it was wobbling a little through the gear knob. Not all the time, and I don't know if it's speed related - didn't test it (already have 3 points, could do without getting more!). The car has a year's warranty so I am not desperately worried, just wanted to know if this is normal or if anyone had a similar issue. Thanks for all your help so far. Hopefully get some pics up soon to demonstrate that black is actually the best colour! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 Congratulations. Difficult to say without seeing it nut it could well be normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seech Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 I am sure I pressed the tape button (as I know that's how they work with the standard mod), but as there is no tape in it, the stereo didn't react. I will try again/excuse to go for another drive :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seech Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Nope, can not get it working. Tried a tape in it too, just the tape comes through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 hmm weird, maybe the previous owner had an aftermarket headunit in? Check through all the radio frequencies and presets incase its linked to an fm transmitter. As for the gearbox vibration, it is normal on all cars. im sure fifth gear refereed to it as the palm tickler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seech Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 OK - the wife has sorted it (again) for me. It was on a preset radio channel. So there must be a transmitter in there somewhere. I can't imagine the sound quality is that good, but I will test it out. It seems a bit odd that someone's gone to that extent to install an iTrip-type gadget. I am thinking the that the tape mod would be a lot better? Thanks again for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
